    Good news! At the , Secretary Mnuchin said we should listen to the economists on . 27 Nobel Laureates, every former Fed Chair and over 3000 other economists (including me) publicly agree on this: We need a $40 carbon tax and dividend.

    Carbon pricing is literally the textbook example of a market-based policy to mitigate climate change.

    General Motors & Ford -- on opposite sides of the battle between Trump & California over fuel standards -- are both among new funders of a longshot carbon tax push.

    To all my libertarian friends. The free market is an amazing thing, but it can't work without property rights. And there is no way to create property rights in the climate. This is a classic "tragedy of the commons." The libertarian solution to climate change is carbon pricing.

    Bottom line: SAT/ACT are the least inequitable part of college admissions Getting rid of them tilts the playing field further against disadvantaged students, who can’t game transcripts, letters, essays in the way rich can

    It's great to see young Republicans pushing for serious climate policy. College Republicans launch campaign calling for GOP to take action on climate change

    My 5-year-old son: "Echo, play classic rock." <intro riff to Back in Black starts playing> 5yo: "AC/DC! My favorite!" I can't take the credit, but *someone* is raising this kid right.

    The economists are largely in agreement about our best tool to combat global warming, says . Putting a price on greenhouse gases with a carbon tax, as we did in the past with other atmospheric pollution, will result in businesses doing all they can to avoid paying it.

    Controversial opinion: I think departments should have a per diem allowance to cover childcare at home or at conferences when faculty parents travel for work.

    Two types of people claim that solving climate change requires destroying capitalism: those looking for any excuse to destroy capitalism and those looking for any excuse to do nothing about climate change. Both are wrong.

    The numbers here aren’t quite correct, because a $1 drop in GDP isn’t the same thing as $1 in cost. But the core argument is 100% correct: degrowth is a hugely expensive way to reduce CO2 emissions.

    Hypothesis: Fiscal policy to correct a negative externality (here, carbon emission) requires taxation of that externality. Subsidizing substitutes is complex, costly, and directs consumption and investment to congressionally preferred technology.

    If you genuinely want more female faculty (and more male faculty who believe in gender equality), eliminating arbitrary and unnecessary family-hostile policies could be a good place to start.

    Academic administrators: increasing faculty diversity is our top priority Also academic administrators: The mandatory committee meeting starts promptly at 8AM. Yes, you told us you can't drop your kid at preschool before 8. No, you can't be at all late for the meeting.
